This was purchased for a military deployment giving me the opportunity to connect to the internet through wifi. I have used it in the states without many problems. One problem I notice is getting kicked off the websites or apps for an unknown reason. But overall satisfied with the product and the availability of free apps from Apple.

I won’t go into a long review here– I read mostly non-fiction because fiction typically bores me. About 10-20% of the time, though, I like to switch to fiction to enjoy “lighter” reading than the non-fiction I typically read. I picked up Catcher in the Rye in a bookstore on a whim the other day. It really, really blew me away! I NEVER laugh out loud when I’m reading, and I must’ve literally laughed outloud several dozen times when reading this book. It was SO funny! And just brilliantly written, enjoyable to read, fun but serious at times, etc. Just a great book, a classic, and one that I should’ve read earlier in life (I’m 37 now). I will likely re-read it every few years just to remind myself how much of a page-turner it was…

I never thought I would pick this book up but for some reason when I passed it on the shelve for the 8th time I decided to read it. Read it I did from front to back pretty dang quick. Great book.

This has to be the best item I ever bought for myself! My wall to wall carpeting was so dirty after the contractors finished working in my family room. I saw this Steam/Vac spin scrubber on line and ordered it.
Let me tell you that the retrieval water was BLACK AND DIRTY.
I am so happy that I bought this cleaner that I believe I could become a spokesperson for this company. The cost of the scrubber more than pays for itself after the first use (considering the cost of professional cleaning.)
I love, love, love it!

This book repeatedly contradicts Holy scriptures. Although interesting, it is a false perspective (based on God’s Holy word) of who God is.

Perhaps the Kindle is not so amazing to you, but to me it has proven itself to be a God-send.

Back in early March, I performed a faulty triple-axel on the stair, struck a newel post on the way, and drove my left patella more than an inch and a half downward. This violent action detached the tendons that attach the quad musculature. I have related much of the tale earlier in this blog, and need not repeat it here. Suffice to say that I am constrained by a rigid brace on my left leg that is uncomfortable (in the extreme) and seriously limits my ability to sit for long in any chair other than a recliner.

Being an inveterate reader, and an especial lover of history and art, my stupid stunt has put a major crimp in my perusals. With a leg straight out from a chair, under a desk or table, for example, it is extremely uncomfortable due to the pressure on the heel of the foot; putting an ottoman or similar prop under the leg is no help, since it pulls uncomfortably at the hamstring and quickly tires the leg. Only in the recliner, where both legs can be extended without undue strain, is sitting for any length of time comfortable — and here I should add that with this damned brace, “comfort” is a relative term at best.

Holding a heavy book, either in the recliner or, worse, lying in bed (necessary when the brace is off and the knee wholly unsupported) is a chore not to be under-estimated. Alas, much (if not most) of what I enjoy reading is as easily referred to as a few pounds of Smyth-sewn paper as it is a book.

Enter: Kindle.

It is a device I had earlier dismissed as a curious toy. A device for geeks, not for serious readers. There was always something akin to heresy attached to the idea of this gadget that rankled the bibliophile that lay buried in me. Over years, I had accepted cheap paper covers in lieu of quality buckram and the ephemeral glued bindings that thrust aside tightly sewn signatures, but I balked at the idea of electrons instead of ink.
